Emergency vet bill for Ginger in Sandton
A rabbit named Ginger needs emergency surgery - a $750 bill the family cannot cover.
🇿🇦 South Africa488 views
Ginger is my rabbit of eleven years. On 18 July we rushed to the Sandton Emergency Vet Clinic with kidney failure. The vet recommends emergency surgery, and the estimate came to $750.
They have stabilized Ginger, but the treatment can't wait beyond October.
Ginger is more than a pet - Ginger walks my kids to the bus stop every morning. I have already put $40 toward the bills and asked for a payment plan.
Whatever I can't raise, I'll repay to anyone who needs it back.
If more is raised than needed, the surplus goes to the Sandton Emergency Vet Clinic's charity fund for other animals.
Where the $750 goes:
• Emergency surgery: $450
• Hospitalization (3 nights): $135
• Medication and follow-up visits: $55
• Diagnostics (X-ray, bloodwork): $110
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
